IMPROVEMENT IN HUNTING-JACKETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 139,950, dated J one17,1873; application filed.

April 19, 1873.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEAN GARAUD, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Combined Hunting-Jacket andCartridge-Pouch, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a hunting jacket ordress having my cartridge-pouch attached. Fig. 2 is a perspective viewof the cartridge-pouch detached, and Fig. 3 a vertical transversesection of jacket and pouch.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v

The object of my invention is to furnish to sportsmen a huntingdress towhich a cartridge-pouch is attached to the back in such a manner thatthe cartridges may easily and conveniently be carried and taken out forthe purpose of loading the gun. The pouch may also be detached andcarried on the shoulder.

My invention consists of an additional lining on the back, withside-openings and lapels for the attaching of the pouch, which isconstructed with a leather strap, so as to be de tachable.

In the drawing, A represents the hunting jacket or dress of suitablematerial. A strong back-lining, B, of similar material is applied at theinside .of the jacket A, having below the sleeves pocket-like openings,at, arranged vertically in the outer cloth so as to be easily entered byeither hand and be more or less covered by the arms. Narrow loops b ofleather or other material are applied along the inside of the jacketaround lining B and the collar, and serve for the purpose of slippingthe strap d of the pouch through when attached to the jacket. The liningB is open at the lower end, and provided with a row of buttons, 6. Alapel, f, placed below the lining B, parallel to its lower end, has anumber of button-holes for the attaching of the pouch. This lapel f mayalso be buttoned up on lining B, forming thereby a bag-like receptacle,which may be used for difierent purposes when the pouch is detached. Thepouch G, of leather or other strong material, has a narrow flap, g, atits upper part with a corresponding number of holes as there arebuttons, 6. Below flap 9 runs along the front part of the pouch a narrowstrip, h, with as many perforated projecting lugs i as button-holes e.Aleather string, is, applied at one side of pouch 0, may be placedthrough the-lugs i when flaps g or lapel f has been passed over thelugs, its end being formed into a .knot, producing a firm connection ofthe parts. The strap d is attached along the sides of pouch O, and has abuckle, m, so as to be disconnected at one side and easily adjusted tothe dress, or independently of it, to the pouch. The pouch is attachedto the inside part of the jacket by slipping the strap d through theloops 1) and connecting with buckle m. Lugs i of strip h of the pouchare then passed through the button-holes of lapel f of the dress,drawing the leather string 1a through the perforations of lugs 2 Flap gis then buttoned on lining B, and the pouch is ready for use, andconveniently reached in all its parts from the side openings a. When thepouch is detached, flap g is placed over lugs z", secured by string k,and thrown over the shoulder.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A hunting dress orjacket, A, with innerback-lining B having side openings a, loops 1), and buttons 6, inconnection with lapel f, substantially as described.

2. The combination of pouch O, constructed as described, with thesubject-matter of the foregoing clauses, substantially as and for thepurpose set forth.
